Chawanakee Lesson Plan Idea Knowledge Base (kbase) Conferences are expensive, so it's important to share the best information with all our schools.
When at conferences, we can gather powerful or cool ideas using this survey form.
It'll all go into a spreadsheet that Jon will recompile into a searchable Wiki page, so everyone can access the tools
from whatever conference we have attended. Using this tool, we can share our great experiences district wide.
Search the kbase- Use Control F or Command F to search for key phrases within the page

An original, PI-5 school with almost 100 points of growth
Use of Data Director and EDS (see below for more info)
57 teachers in English and Math at a middle school (!) Every year:
8 weeks prescheduled, up front prescheduled for reflection/reteach and standards analysis after the quarterly and midquarterly assessments
LESS IS MORE: FOR EXAMPLE =for her poetry was a 9 week unit, BUT only 3 STAR questions on the quiz
FIDELITY: doesn't mean an irrational following of state adopted materials, it means making an honest effort to follow the state standards using all materials needed
Ed testing service provides their test bank to the state and it's $4 a kid a year
EXTREMELY close to the STAR - same manufacturer, same writers - this school's results were within 2% of their preassessments...booklets look the same, etc.
MUCH lager test bank, with LEVELS of difficulty inside a strand.....
Bad deal in Data Director...2 questions per standard, not enough data points
Able to generate teacher API reports in ETS, excellent PR tool
Staff knowledgeable about each other's scores=professionalism, and no where to hide
Staff lounge has current API and pre-api scores for all teachers up on the wall, publicly
Flow: 3 weeks teach, test, one week review OR enrich
"Teaching LESS is MORE"
Honesty and transparency in sharing all data
Safe Harbor in AYP = 10% growth in a give area is considered success

Lesson Description
This session focused on one principal’s experience in rethinking

Middle School are exciting places to learn and technology has
been the leverage to make it happen. Indeed, along the way,
Mullholland has seen a 200+ gain in their API score.

First of all, there is a paradigm and structural shift here. The
campus is completely wireless with 600 student laptops, 80 staff
laptops, three dedicated computer labs, 3 T-1 lines coming in to
the school and over 1,000 computers operating each and every
day.
Major learning tools and instructional practices including going
to all on-line assessments so students do not lose time waiting
for feedback, results, etc.
Additionally, instructional staff has embraced all means of
technology including the use of cell phones as student response
devices (i.e. search for free tools).
List tools, web resources needed (free is better, note any costs for software or hardware)
Mullholland encourages other to search for free web-based tools
and use existing student technology access such as cell phones.
Additionally, they dedicate one week to professional
development and teacher training related to instructional
technology gear.
Mullholland dedicates 20% of its categorical budget to
technology and training. They use their Title 1 budget to focus
on technology that will improve student achievement.

Critical Thinking About Technology
Presenter's Name
Miguel Aznar, KnowledgeContext
Lesson Description
Technology in education can be a cross-disciplinary curriculum
that threads through the core academic content areas. This is a
strategy for understanding and evaluating any technology by
participating in standards-based activities culled from a free,
downloadable middle school curriculum. Additional background
is that this is related to CDE’s Chapter Four on Relevance. This
focuses on standards that says learning should be infused with
technology and that technology should be infused with learning.
What this learning tool/activity will achieve or replace
(i.e. a new way to do research, math tool, presentation idea, classwork flow, new way to do vocab words or jigsaw a lesson)
It will show the fallacy in myths such as Understand = Operate or Technology = Computers. It is about Technology
Competency vs. Technology Literacy. It is about Operating vs.
Evaluating. The program is called ICE-9 and it focuses on NINE
essential questions. ICE (Identify, Change and Evaluate). It’s
not about competence for the few, but literacy for all.
